John Deere

I thought the only tractor he would touch was NH, I presume that’s C.W. your referring to.
cw specialises in nh but he'd do other brands within reason from what my old man has said about him. the busiest man alive, he's going all year round. JD mechanic is some1 else then (should've worded it better)

Would ye not do a combine bearing yourselves? A bearing is easy enough.
Changing a bearing is easy enough unless it's located over the drum. Have to tear through a bit to get to it from what I see. And it be handy for an expert's hand as we cut what little of our barley while it was vibrating. Don't know what other damage we done for those few acres
 
I'd always get a mechanic to do a few jobs on my combine before the harvest even though I'd be well capable of doing 90% of it myself but by doing so if something serious goes wallop during the harvest he feels more obliged to help me out than if you only call him for the shitty jobs in a panic.

True alright.
If it’s a shaker bearing they are fookers.
And the shaft usually goes too.

When you really wanted a New Holland (better not be racist, it could be a Landini) and dad buys you a John Deere

you would wonder why the loader is piped into the back, something to do with 60l hydraulics rather than the higher output?
 
What would be a suitable tyre combination for a 6630. Currently on 600 65 38 and 16.9 24. Need to change the back at the mo and there is about 40 left on the front. Would like to stay with 600 on the rear but the the 16.9 looks a bit off on the front.
Probably 480/65/24 on the front

The 6600 at home is on 540/65 R24 fronts and 650/65 R83s
 
Any chance it's 10912hrs? Otherwise why is there a 0 before the 912hrs?
Would say it is genuine low hours and ex Balfour Beatty. Might have had a winch on it.
There were a bunch of similar blue McCormicks in an auction a few years ago and I think a few of them turned up over here

Herselfs brother has a 3050 that popped out of 1st gear the other day. Anyway he went to put it back into gear only to discover the linkage or rod or whatever connects the gear stick to the gearbox had come apart. He put it back in but now 1st gear is gone. He still has 2nd and it's going into the first gear position but behaving like it's in neutral. Any idea what might be wrong?. I haven't seen it myself. I only chatted to him over the phone about it.
